I recently finished the book, Through The Shadows by Karen Barnett. This book is set in San Fransisco in the early 1900s, and is the third book in the Golden Gate Chronicles. This was a delightful read that I quickly fell in love with. The characters were well thought out and I love how Barnett doesn’t give you all the story at one time. Not knowing what was going to happen, is what kept me wanting to continue to read this book.
About the book:
The devastating earthquake is just two years past, but the city of San Francisco is still trying to recover. Destruction of this magnitude is not so easy to overcome-and neither are the past regrets shadowing Elizabeth King’s hopeful future.
Hoping to right her wrongs, Elizabeth dedicates herself to helping girls rescued from slavery in Chinatown brothels, even if it means putting her own life at risk to sneak through the gloomy alleys and rooftops where dangers lurk.
Putting her life on the line for a worthy cause is admirable. But opening her heart is even more terrifying. So when Elizabeth meets attorney, Charles McKinley—a man who dreams of reforming San Francisco’s crooked politics—Elizabeth begins to doubt: Can she maintain her pretense and hide her past? Or will her secret jeopardize both their futures?
Overall thoughts:
This was a beautifully written story from the Golden Gate Chronicles series. While each one is worth the read, you can enjoy this book as a stand alone. Author, Karen Barnett does an amazing job at taking one back to San Fransico in the early 1900, and the characters Elizabeth and Charles are lovely. Highly recommend.
